Climbers who discovered the body of Mallory on Mount Everest have sent a tissue sample for testing to prove conclusively the remains were those of the British explorer lost in 1924, an expedition official said on Tuesday.
ENGINE RUN-ON, DIESELING -- RO-101. DIESELING, that nasty tendency of an engine to continue to run on, coughing and sputtering, after the ignition is turned off and there is no more spark. Run-on by dieseling is caused by fuel in engine igniting without spark. Possible explanations: a.) Running winter fuel in warm weather.
Your engine is kind of like a little planet, or an organism -- a biosphere that must maintain numerous delicate balances just to survive. Your engine uses air and fuel just like your body does, oxidizing the fuel to produce usable energy. But air is a difficult thing to control; it changes in density by atmospheric pressure and heat, and it speeds up or slows down according to the shape of the channels it flows through.
